Sky High Technology - High-Level Video, Automatic Traffic Counter and Manual Traffic Surveys

Established in 1989, Sky High was the first company in the UK to introduce the use of video recording as a way of increasing the accuracy and completeness of traffic flow counts. Over the years we have developed robust, safe and reliable video-camera systems and expanded our services to meet all the data and analysis needs our clients might have.

We have built our reputation on staying ahead of the field, and our collaboration with University research departments and work with consultants and equipment manufacturers keeps us at the forefront of transport data collection and analysis techniques.

As well as being market leaders in video survey technology we are experts in all other types of transport data collection project. Whether it is automatic traffic-counter systems, manual surveys, roadside-interview surveys, GPS journey-time surveys, car parking surveys or full-blown market research and computer-aided telephone surveys we have the knowledge and resources to deliver a first-class service supported by a streamlined, high-quality approach to survey management, analysis and reporting.
